    I write poetry and philosophies. This one is in my sunroom, for people to see, on one of my side windows.

    God is Truth. Without Truth, Knowledge means Nothing! One might as well, go eat from a tree of Knowledge(reference to the Garden of Eden).

    Democrat Politicians, want to teach you knowledge, but without truth. Their knowledge, without morality, and without Jesus Christ.

    Thomas Paine -
    All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human
    inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.

    Even some of the smartest geniuses throughout history, can have some of the most stupid thoughts and ideas.
    Just because someone is a genius, doesn't make everything that comes from their mouth, smart/intellectual.

    Mixing partisan politics with religion & using Jesus as a political tool is Satan's favorite cocktail.

    Your god is a lie and the sooner your god gets out of secular life the better.

    Do you mean to say that someone is living a lie?

    That’s okay I’ll consider taking advice from you when you get a better job than as a gas station attendant.

    And I'll consider your advice when you're not sleeping on someone else's couch. At least I can provide my own roof over my head

    So like a month when I’m moving into a house that I’m paying on my own?

    Wonderful. You can take these solemn words with you. I did the right thing and became homeless. And a better person for it.

    Meanwhile you live a crappy life with crappy morals and most likely will die living a crappy life with crappy morals. I pity people like you.

    Lol.

    You're so morally righteous such moral high ground I have never seen....

    If someone like you didn't look down on me, then I'm certainly not doing something right.

    But I want you to know that your opinion is very important to me and I promise you that I will give it all of the due consideration it so deeply and richly deserves at my earliest convenience.

    But in the meantime just know that God loves you. Have a wonderful day!

    Your god is a cruel optimism that will let children die in school shootings or punish women with pregnancies.

    You have zero conception of my perception of God but just a humor me go ahead and tell me what you think I believe.

    Or better yet maybe find some of my post on the subject and tell me what it is that I have said

    Humans cannot know God with certainty, just as we cannot grasp infinity...Humans being gods creatures should be loved as creatures of god, and believe it or not the simple "treat each other as we would like to be treated" covers a large area of our lives we should live in cooperation NOT competition

    You imaginary friend in the sky doesn't exist.

    Have you ever ready a Buy-Bull? I think you may have skipped the parts on love and tolerance.

    Further, "truth" is fluid.

    I and many of my friends have morals, ethics and values. None of those qualities are dependent on believing in an imaginary Sky Daddy.

    And, just because someone claims to be a Christian, doesn't make everything that comes from their mouth Christ-like.[/QUOTE]

    thats a great saying for those who summarily believe the same as you, however the first question you will get asked here is "Define God"?

    But that is your belief since there is no factual and decisive evidence. That's why it's called a "faith".

    a quote from this video: “god isn’t a being, god IS being. I spent all afternoon at work listening to this. It’s about the nature of reality, theories physicists are working with, spirituality, the meaning of life, god, etc. Extremely fascinating stuff.

    Yes .. interesting stuff to ponder. Read "Dancing with the Wu Li Masters" , "Mysticism and the New Physics" , and James Gliecks "Chaos Theory" as a young warthog .. near a decade later took a 4th year quantum mechanics class.. at end of Chem degree .. did those funky wave equations .. learned that we can describe things mathematically .. while not actually understanding what is happening .. if you can try to wrap head around that one.

    I have a proof for the idea that existence is eternal .. and a quazi proof for God ... which includes the "God is being" idea aka "I drink therefor I am" :) none of which required an ounce of math or physics ..but a pound of logic and philosophy.

    The question on the table here however is "God is Truth"

    My response .. while that may well be the case .. we don't know what God is .. so if the above is true .. we don't know what Truth is :)

    Even if we presumed "God is this or God is that" "God is being" for example .. this still doesn't help us with the Truth question .. sans claiming that "Being is Truth" .. which is true .. but misses the mark .. stating "I Am that I Am" and that is that.. and to be sure .. that is all we know for sure ... the only Truth we know for sure.

    I prefer the old Viking Credo "The Truth" - is that life is hard and dangerous (and it goes on from there with wise words)
